Complimentary stuff is always welcome. If you go to buy a necklace for yourself you would want a pair of matching earrings and also a ring with it. If you buy a formal suit for yourself, you would definitely prefer one with a matching tie. Therefore, it is more likely that you would want to buy a bunk bed with futon rather than the bunk bed alone.
A futon is basically a sofa cum bed; a bunk bed with futon is one having a futon at the bottom and a twin or full sized bunk above it. This basically constitutes a versatile piece of furniture. You could use the lower bunk as a couch the whole day. At the end of the day you can simply unfold it to give you a large size bed to sleep on.
